Reducing food waste is a goal we should all have. Vilifying a product that can help us do that with disinformation isn't helping. My latest for AGDAILY
Social media is wrong to vilify Apeel's shelf-life technique | AGDAILY

Apeel is a useful tool to safely and effectively extend the shelf life of fresh produce, yet activists aim to denigrate this remedy to food waste.
My biggest concern is one of the honorable mentions--gobbling up productive farmland and turning it into something else.

As a society, we have a responsibility to understand the urgency of the βCβsβ and act accordingly -- to think globally and act locally.
I want to say I greatly appreciate what you are doing and the way you are doing it. I shared a couple recent items with my facebook ‘friends’. I lived on a farm until I was 10 and in a farming community, here in east-central Iowa, until I was 20. I have lived in the city–pop about 100,000–since 1975. I am still surprised, at times, at the ignorance of some of the folks around me concerning what goes on right outside of town.
Please consider me a friend,
